Our powerful, yet user-friendly, interface allows you to manage your site’s URLs with precision. Create all types of redirects (301, 302, 307, 308) with ease, including complex wildcard rules.

Does this plugin affect my site’s performance?

We’ve built Advanced Redirect Manager with performance as a top priority. The redirection engine is highly optimized and uses the built-in WordPress Object Cache. On sites with a persistent object cache (like Redis or Memcached), this means virtually zero database load for handling redirects after the first visit. The Link Scanner runs only when you trigger it manually and uses AJAX chunking to avoid slowing down your server.

What’s the difference between a 301, 302, 307 and 308 redirect?

301 (Moved Permanently): The classic permanent redirect. It tells search engines that a page has moved permanently and they should transfer all SEO value to the new URL. Important: A 301 redirect may allow browsers to change the request method from POST to GET.
308 (Permanent Redirect): The modern and stricter version of the 301. It also signals a permanent move and transfers SEO value, but it strictly preserves the original request method. This means a POST request will remain a POST request to the new URL, which is crucial for forms or API endpoints.
302 (Found) & 307 (Temporary Redirect): These tell search engines that the move is temporary and SEO value should not be passed. The 307 is the modern equivalent of the 302, as it strictly preserves the request method, just like the 308 does for permanent redirects. Use these for A/B testing or temporary maintenance pages.

Can I use wildcards? How do they work?

Yes! Use an asterisk (*) in the “Redirect From” field. Each * captures a segment of the URL. You can then use $1, $2, etc., in the “Redirect To” field to place the captured segments.

Example:
- Redirect From: /products/category-*/item-*
- Redirect To: /shop/$1/product/$2
- This would redirect /products/category-books/item-123 to /shop/books/product/123.

Does the Link Scanner run automatically in the background?

No. To ensure it doesn’t impact your site’s performance without your knowledge, the Link Scanner is a tool that you must run manually from the plugin’s admin page.

What happens when I uninstall the plugin?

Upon uninstallation (by clicking “Delete” in the Plugins screen), Advanced Redirect Manager cleans up after itself completely. It will remove its custom database table, all of its options from the wp_options table, and any related transients. Your data will be permanently deleted. If you only “Deactivate” the plugin, all your rules and data are kept safe for when you reactivate it.
